My guest is Eliza Blank, a bootstrapping baddie who built her plant startup The Sill to $1,000,000 in revenue before taking on investors and continuing to scale. Eliza launched the business from her bedroom floor with $30k pulled together from a Kickstarter campaign and credit cards. 

Today The Sill has physical stores across the United States, a thriving ecommerce business, and is on her way to becoming the Glossier of house plants. 

This is how she did it!
